Time had flown by fast at the firehouse, as the grandfather clock chimed 5pm.

"Fellas, I'm out for the day," said Jeanie, in a slight scratchy voice, as she shut down and covered her computer for the evening.

"Alright, Jeanie, said Winston, as he was on his way to the basement to do some laundry and asked her, By the way, not to be insulting but you're sounding a bit horse.

Are you OK?"

"Yeah, I'm fine.

I think it's just allergies," Jeanie replied with a sniffle.

"Let's just hope that's only it.

We already got one member of the team down, we can't loss another one," said Peter.

"You're too kind Dr. Venkman," Jeanie answered back to him in a sarcastic tone.

"Hope you feel better Jeanie," said Ray, as he wiped his hands after checking the engine of Ecto-1.

"Thanks Ray.

I'm going to make myself some hot tea and relax.

Night fellas," said Jeanie, as she headed for the door after putting on her coat and purse.

"Good night Jeanie (coughs) take it easy, Egon called out to her, And thanks again for today and the day before.

"You're welcome to Egon, said Jeanie, who the realized she was still wearing his shirt and said,"Hold on.

I forgot to give you your shirt back."

"That's OK, I'm in hurry to get it back," said Egon.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, and it will keep you warm with the weather outside."

He was right, as it was now rainy with lower temperatures than it was earlier.

Jeanie said good night once again to the Ghostbusters and left.

Once Jeanie had gone, Peter looked over at Egon with a sly smile to his face and asked "Soooooo, what was that all about?"

"Jeanie was feeling a bit cold earlier, so I gave her my shirt to warm to keep warm.
Not a big deal," Egon replied, not looking up from his paperwork.
"Are you sure that's all that was?""Come Peter, knock it off.
Leave Egon alone," said Winston.
"Yeah he did a nice thing for Jeanie, considering he's not feeling to well himself, Ray added, as he turned to Egon and asked, By the way, how are you feeling?"
"Not.. ACHOO! ACHOO! great (coughs), but slightly better than yesterday," Egon answered.
"I can tell the difference, you not coughing and sneezing as much.
"And you don't sound too congested," Peter added.
"Still, another day of rest may not be a bad idea and you should rest after dinner.
You're still looking a tad feverish,"said Ray.
"That's fine," said Egon.
"Ray, I don't think that's a fever for his cold, it's a love sick fever," said Peter with a laugh.
Egon,Ray and Winston simply glared at Peter, who stopped the teasing right away, but added,"Gee, touchee."
And sure enough, later on that night, after having the remainder of the soup from earlier, while Peter,Ray and Winston had sub, Egon went to lay down for the rest of the night.
Though he tried to read a bit, he ended up falling asleep, with a book in his hands and still wearing his glasses, until Ray removed the book out of his hands and the glasses from his face.

The next morning, Peter, Ray and Winston woke to find Egon's bed was empty.
Three got out of their beds, Winston asked,"Where do you suppose he Egon went?"
"Couldn't tell you, I've been sleeping," Peter answered.
"Let's hope he didn't leave the firehouse in his condition," said Ray.
"Morning gentlemen," said a voice.
The three ghostbusters turned to see Egon, entering the bedroom, dressed in his usual attire of grey slacks, and matching jacket, with a white business shirt that was buttoned up and tucked in, along with a light grey sweater vest, a maroon colored tie, charcoal colored socks and loafers.
"Egon, when did you get up?" asked Peter.
"Approximently 45 minutes, Egon replied, sounding not congested or horse at all,"I was in the shower and got dressed."
"Egon, you sound a whole lot better," said Winston.
"And you even look 100% better," Ray added.
"Vital signs are at correct levels, body temperature is at average 98.6 degrees Farnehite.
Yes it appears to be I have fully recovered," said Egon.
"Egon's cured alright.
I can't understand what he's saying," said Peter, as he climbed back into bed and placed his pillow over his head.

A short time later, the four member team were in the kitchen having breakfast, when the phone rang.
"I'll get," said Ray, as he got up from his seat and answered the call.
"Ghostbusters.
Hi is everything OK?
I see.
Sorry you're not feeling well.
Take all the time you need to feel better.
Get plenty of rest and fluids.
You take care now.
Get better.
You're welcome, good-bye."
Ray hung up the phone and said,"That was Jeanie, she's not coming in today and most likely the rest of the week.
She's sick."
A look of guilt came across Egon's face.
"What's the matter?" asked Winston, before placing his bowl and glass in the sink.
"I must have given Jeanie my cold," Egon answered.
"Don't beat yourself yourself up, after all she did help you get better."
"I want to do make it up to Jeanie."
"That's very considerate of you Egon, but then you'll get sick again," Peter pointed out.
Just then, a thought popped into Egon's head.
"I think I have a way of helping Jeanie," he said.

Meanwhile, on the other side of town, Jeanie was resting on the living room couch in her apartment, with a blanket on top of her, wearing Egon's shirt of her nightgown, and reading a magazine.
"(coughs) This is not...ACHOO! ACHOO! had in mind when I said I wish I can get a few days off," she said to herself, sounding congested and horse at the same time.
Just then, there was a knock at the door.
"Unbelievable,(coughs) of all the...ACHOO! ACHOO! times," Jeanie grumbled getting off the couch, and placing a robe and slippers on over the nightgown, shirt and socks.
The knock grew louder.
"OK OK, (coughs) I'm coming hold your horse," said Jeanie as she made her way to the door.
But when she opened it, there was nobody there.
"Damn idiots and their freakin pranks," Jeanine muddered under her breath.
But just as she was about to close the door, Jeanie found a box in front of the enterence way.
She picked it up and brought it inside.
Jeanie placed the box on the dining room table and looked to see was inside.
She was taken by surprise to see that there was a container of chicken soup, a jar of Vick's vapor rub, cough syrup and drops, tissues, nasal spray, a hot water bottle along with a small arrangement of flowers in a vase and a tiny stuff bear.
Jeanie couldn't believe her eyes at the items she recieved.
I wonder where who sent this?" she asked.
Jeanie then found a note card attached to the flowers and read it.
"Just some items to take care of yourself, as you took care of me.
Thank you."
Jeanie regonized the handwriting right away and despite feeling sick, a huge smile came across her face.
"Oh Egon," she said.

The End
